The U.S. called for restraint between Pakistan and India on Monday, advocating for dialogue over escalation in response to rising tensions. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller emphasized a neutral stance while encouraging a peaceful resolution, especially amid allegations of India’s targeted killings in Pakistan.
Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh’s recent remarks, asserting India’s policy of pursuing terrorists into Pakistan, have sparked controversy. He confirmed such actions align with the Modi government’s stance, a day before The Guardian reported India’s involvement in the deaths of about 20 individuals in Pakistan since 2020, aiming to eliminate terrorists abroad.
This report follows accusations from Canada and the U.S. against India for similar operations. The Guardian highlighted New Delhi’s assassination tactics against perceived threats on foreign soil. Pakistan’s Foreign Office condemned Singh’s comments as politically motivated, calling for international scrutiny of India’s admission of extrajudicial actions deemed as combating terrorism.
